Heads22 Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 Playing Gordon at third initially seemed odd, but God knows he can pick it. Saladino is supposed to be above average with the glove. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saladino is supposed to be above average with the glove. IIRC they worked Gordon at 3b for like a week or two in Charlotte right before he was called up.

Dick Allen Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jul 10, 2015 -> 03:00 PM) IIRC they worked Gordon at 3b for like a week or two in Charlotte right before he was called up. He played 8 games there. Saladino has played 5. So really, they are in the same boat. He has primarily played SS so I don't think this should be a huge deal. If he is a decent SS, and I don't know where his throwing is at, he should be better than Gillaspie right now, and improve at 3B with more reps. But this isn't like putting Soto in LF.

Balta1701 Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 Tyler made some contact, took one foul down the RF line, wound up weakly grounding out to SS off the end of the bat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, but only 2 of those games were this season. Woulda been nice to give him a week there just to get the footing down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Woulda been nice to give him a week there just to get the footing down. I wouldn't doubt he has been taking a lot of grounders at 3B before games for a little while. Obviously games are different, but there is not much difference between 8 games, 5 games, and 0 games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
